Courses

From January 1 2015 the NSW Government is changing the way Vocational Education and Training is funded. This reform is called Smart & Skilled.

Smart and Skilled helps you gain the skills needed to get a job and advance your career, with government subsidies available for some students and courses. As part of these changes, the NSW Government has released the 2015 Skills List which sets out priority areas for training. This means that if you choose to study a qualification that is included on this list, based on meeting eligibility criteria, some of the course fees may be covered by the Government.

To be eligible for a place in a government subsidised course you must be:

an Australian citizen, permanent resident or humanitarian visa holder or New Zealand citizen

aged 15 years or older

no longer be at school and

living or working in NSW OR

registered as a NSW apprentice or new entrant trainee.

In addition if you want to enrol in a government subsidised place in a Certificate III or below you must not have completed a Certificate IV or above.

Those eligible for Smart and Skilled training aged between 15-30 years who are eligible for Government concessions may also be eligible for fee-free scholarships.

From 2016, students with a Certificate IV or higher qualification will be able to access subsidised Smart and Skilled Training up to Certificate III level.
